My shorter reply to this part about 'learn to love herself' is, does it mean Xiaoyao has to be alone to achieve this? I think she did learn to love herself, and managed to open her heart to love someone else and be loved in return.
Unless you are talking about some xianxia spiritual attainment like cutting off all ties to the mundane world and living by herself in some mountain like a hermit by herself = happiness and growth? I should think that is escapism and not actually healing? Makes me think of the characters in those wuxia stories where the people escape to live by themselves but are almost always carrying some kind of baggage all their lives lol
Xiaoyao being willing to open her heart and be ready for future pain and suffering, to me is character growth. What she wants is what everybody else yearns for, nothing wrong with that right? Its almost like saying, Xiaoyao didn't grow because in the end, she still wants love.

Yes! All of them have suffered trauma and carries heavy emotional baggage. That's why they are interesting and feels like well written characters. In the novel especially, Xiaoyao is almost like an alcoholic who had to use drinking to numb her feelings regarding her love/hate feelings for her mother, which the drama did not choose to show. She even self medicates to be able to sleep after her heartbreak. Maybe the drama didn't dare to show this too much because of censorship and all that.
Her fear of being abandoned was largely due to being 'on her own' when she was being tortured for 30 years. Nobody came to save her and she only had herself. For some they may become jaded and no longer believe in others, but I find it interesting that Xiaoyao is actually hopeful that it could be possible to be able to rely on someone else so fully 'never abandon'... How do I put it across.. its like she seen the darkest abyss but she decided to live her life to find a unicorn?
Its happy ending for Jing but not for others. Title 'Lost You Forever' refers to CangXuan losing Xiao Yao while…
TH also specifically said, The title was meant for Cangxuan. She knew there would be issues to write a story when the male lead doesn't get a 'happy ending', but she did it anyway. And everyone gets lovesickness and yearns for someone in the story.

I think in the story, everyone wanted love. Cangxuan had many women but he cared for none of them. Xiangliu was feared and disrespected by his own army but he never had a 'true friend' with any of them.
Xiaoyao's 'don't abandon me' was very extreme and I also found it a self-sabotaging condition to live her life, but I don't think that makes her 'toxic'. She had no one in life to show her what or how to 'love', since she was surrounded by 'hard hearted people'. who mixed personal interests with 'love'. She had to learn it on her own, through her own mistakes. She was actually was always acting against what she said because she was ultimately just a kind person who thinks she was hard hearted.
Drama will have its limitations to bring this across, especially when they have removed almost all her personal arc regarding how she would deal healthily with her emotional baggage, with was a great pity in the adaptation.

If you read the novel, you should be aware of her final choice towards the end. Is that not considered as growth? She was ready to be alone forever. Only because Tonghua loves Xiaoyao, she did a reversal and gave her everything she wanted. That does not mean Xiaoyao never grew just because she chose what she had always wanted. The journey to that same goal does not mean she didn't learn things along the way?

Well its true the drama has yet to show us any kind of significant character change on Xiaoyao's part in S1, but she will definitely mature greatly in her mindset after going through other ordeals. I hope what is left in the drama series will be able to bring that across and give her character enough justice.

I don't know if you read the novel but Xiaoyao has wonderful character growth, closure about her insecurities and did not remain stuck as you suggested, only "wanting a companion to spend the rest of her life with". I don't know if the drama will do enough justice to address that since there is only 21 episodes and they have removed alot of story arcs, but by the end, Xiaoyao has definitely grown and deserved all the happiness she got.

Yang zi herself said in an interview there is no BE, everyone got what they wanted in the end. Xiaoyao ends up blissfully married to Jing, Xiangliu gets to die gloriously in his battle with his beloved foster father. Sorry I can't stand people spreading false information like the person above.
hi! assuming you are asking when it will air... nobody really knows... Iqiyi slated it for first quarter of 2025 for now It seems far but time really flies by! Being a xianxia with alot of CG and post production I think it will take months just to finish with those work...
They changed story's pov from RR to SYS in the series which I found more better. They added full backstory too.…
That being said I also really like Xue Ranran's character as well! She is like a new slate but she is still herself? Not exactly blank slate. Her thoughts, decisions, actions are still MQG, just without the burden of the memories of the past. So we get to see them learn to love properly this time, because their past is really so complicated and messy.
I think Su Yishui is such an interesting and layered character! He is so wonderfully conflicted, always struggling with himself. In the novel we see the story from Ranran's pov, so mostly we only see him being cold or aloof but this guy got so many emotions churning below that calm façade I am surprised he didn't end up with a stomach ulcer hahaha

Two geniuses, but actual losers were in a one-sided love, WITH EACH OTHER
Throw in misunderstandings and sacrifice
Divine reincarnation tree gives them second chance
They have more misunderstandings and sacrifice
But this time, finally, they realize, that arrow is double-headed!
